i bought a pair of the beckmans in black, $208 before the bing cashback. now i gotta decide between keeping the beckmans or my unworn 1000 mile boots in black sitting in my closet.
Is the 'regular' Beckman still available? I see numerous sites selling it, but many refer to Beckman and GT interchangeably. The GT is model 9011. I think the Beckman is 9010, but that's not on the Red Wing site.
I'd like to get the Beckman's, but I'm concerned that I'll get the GT's sent instead.
I'm confused.
BTW - the reason for wanting the Beckmans is because I think the heel is a bit smaller. I could be incorrect.
Thanks.
